Its not a first generation but its still nice as hell. Its a '93 and eats imports for breakfast. By the way I ended up beating the black car. He got a 3 second head start. Damn slow cars.

wish i had a camera i'd show before and after pics. i'm using a super racing clone, white with red flames and a blower on the hood. i needed a hotrod, even if it is a cheap imitation.

Hey guys..The mustang doesnt need as much work as you think..There is not a spot of rust on it, everything is there but the front sheetmetal and engine. Beleive it or not, but there are only a couple dings in the doors. Very easy to fix. I just bought a 65 Fastback parts car for a grand. Freshly rebuilt 302, everything there, just in peices. So, I would estimate about 2 grand to get it up and running again. Then another 500 or so for a paint job. It really isnt that bad. BTW, all my muscle cars came to me this way. How do you think a teenager affords them

when you're done, you should sell all the good prts you don't use and buy another engine. that way hopefully, you never have to get rid of it. and, you never have to worry about smog. that is, until they outlaw the old cars. hehe

outlaw old cars... comon.. the automotive industry has too much money in our government for anything like that to happen.. maybe tax in the future. but they will never outlaw them!

i dont get what you are talking about.. get another engine?

gtr2112 · #43 01-28-2003, 06:23 PM

that's what i'm going to do when i get 1. that way, i'll always have a spare motor if anything goes wrong with the 1st one. then i can just rebuild the 1st one and, i can keep driving it for life.

I f you use your head you shouldnt need another motor. My car runs in the 13 second range with no problem. I have never had any problems with my car.

You guys know that a vw type 1 engine dragster ran a 6.71 quarter. So ha laugh at imports now, oh yeah the S2000 runs 14's stock. Go Honda Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
